FrontPage Discussion Web
How the discussion web is constructed
Introduction
These pages are intended to describe the construction and workings of a basic FrontPage Discussion Web, as produced by the Discussion Web Wizard (DWW). They do not attempt to describe how to build the web, or customise it.
The discussion web used here uses suggested values offered by the FrontPage Discussion Web Wizard.
Some of the pages produced by the DWW have been edited to facilitate the addition of explanatory notes.
In the Wizard, I chose the option to use input fields for Subject, Category, and Comments. Also used Frames, but allowed for non-frames browsers. The posts are indexed with latest at the top (which may be a mistake), with threading.
Form fields and other points are denoted with their use in the appropriate pages.
Start with a list of pages, the form properties and then the discussion web itself. The discussion web pages will open in a new window or tab.
Important - Owing to high levels of spam (inherent with the FrontPage Discussion Web) the forms will no longer post new items to the server.
Disclaimer - The comments made in these pages (excluding any posts made by others) are my own, based on a combination of guesswork and my observations and interpretations of the provided documentation and results. They may be accurate, or not.
Comments made (in the Discussion Web Posts) are not the responsibility of RxS Enterprises, or any of its agents. Any inappropriate posts will be removed.
As a result of large volumes of spam being posted, many pages have been removed from this discussion web. The ability to make any new posts or replies has also been removed for the time being.
The post pages have been retained (with forms that will not submit anywhere) in order to show how the discussion web is constructed.
